You may also have an issue with a new ‘HP instant ink’ printer or ink cartridges and you do not wish to use the HP instant ink service. You may also see a message like ‘ Used or counterfeit ink cartridge detected ’. If your HP printer is giving you an error message such as HP cartridges locked or any other message that mentions something about HP cartridge protection, then it sounds like you have fallen victim to a printer firmware update and you will definitely be having trouble using compatible or remanufactured inks.
